Finding the  lamp

The light guide makes it easier to choose the right bulb among the many energy-efficient light bulbs.

• Find the bulb that you want to compare with.
• Select the power in Watts (W)
• The result lists various lamps and converts Watts (W) to lumen (lm) showing how much light the bulb produces. Here you can also see the energy savings over 10 years.

Furnish with Light

To furnish with light, you can now move around in different rooms as from the Office to the living room but it depends on the room and the function.

Transform

This will help you to convert the bulb wattage to the correct number of lumens in order for you to get as much light as possible. for example a 25 watt or 60 watt bulb light output is measured in lumens (lm). The corresponding figures are also available for reflector lamps at 12 volts and 230 volts.
